Need Help with Random Events in Actionscript 2
I'm working on a game in flash right now, written in actionscript 2, where bottles fall from above at random speeds, and the object is to shoot the bottles as they fall, and every time you hit a bottle a different message appears on the screen for a brief period of time before disappearing. So far I'm able to make the bottles fall and I'm able to shoot and break them, but I don't know how to work it so a different message appears each time you shoot a bottle.
Can anyone help me with this problem? I'm attaching the file of what I have so far.
My first question would be, when you say "different message appears" each time you hit a bottle.
What are the messages and do you want them to be random, and where will they appear.
After looking at your code, the best place I can see to place your message trigger is within the hit test. From there its a somple case of calling a function to display your message.

Need help with custom event from Main class to an unrelated class.
Hey guys,
I'm new to Flash and not great with OOP. I've made it pretty far with google and lurking, but I've been pulling my hair out on this problem for a day and everything I try throws an error or simply doesn't hit the listener.
I'm trying to get my Main class to send a custom event to an unrelated class called BigIcon. The rest of the code works fine, it's just the addEventListener and dispatchEvent that isn't working.
I've put in the relevant code in below. Let me know if anything else is needed to troubleshoot. Thank you!

My apologies, I should attempt to compile my example code before I ask for help...
Alright, this compiles, gives me no errors, shows my 'book' and 'flowers' icons perfectly when ran, and prints 'addEventListener' to the output window as expected. I get no errors when I press the button, 'dispatchEvent' is output (good), but the 'twitchUp' function is never called and 'EventTriggered' is never output.
How do I get the 'twitchUp' event to trigger?

First Mac-need help with an "event"
Hi:
After 3 days of busy activity with no freeze ups, I was feeling pretty confident. However, late last night I ran into an "event" that eventually required me to reload Tiger.
(1) I was working along and for some reason, clicking my mouse did not have any effect on any of the programs--either those running or attempting to start new ones.
(2) I was able to tab through those programs running and with a command-Q quit out of those running...still no effect on any mouse clicks....no problem moving the mouse and it would highlight top left corner buttons, but no effect if I attempted to minimize or exit.
(3) I shut the computer off and restarted a number of times....came up to the same screen each time. Held the off button both in shutting down and starting up and this time it would go to the log on screen where I was able to type in my password. Would come up to the same screen as I left it.
(4) Was able to use the remote control just fine to look at pictures, etc.
(5) After some reading, did a PRAM reset....same story as above.
(6) Finally reloaded a new copy of Tiger and was back in business.
Questions:
(1) Is this the typical freeze people are getting....with PCs, when it freezes, nothing moves and when you reboot, you have a fresh start?
(2) Short of reloading Tiger, if this happens again, what remedy (other than sending my new iMac back!) would you suggest?
Thanks for your help!Many thanks for the suggestion and the giving me some hope that this is not the dreaded freeze issue!
I forgot to mention perhaps one important bit of information: There were two Finder "windows" that were present when my "event" occurred and each time I rebooted, these same two Finder windows reappeared and my mouse was unable to move them or close them or execute any command line operations.
Not sure if this changes the story about it being a mouse software related error or not, but I found it strange that on hard reboots the machine came back with the same two windows of information. -
I need help with my event-based cue points with audio
Im having trouble with my video game project for my action script 3 class at school. Here is what i did, i made a game called Tailgate toss up. I filmed my character and rendered it in Adobe Premiere. I than brought my .mov file into After Effects and I put event-based cue points-
my first cue point at 0:00:03:13 called "loop"
my second cue point at 00:00:03:27 called "draw"
my third cue point at 00:00:05:24 called "bang"
my fourth cue point at 00:00:13:29 called "dead"
my fifth cue point at 00:00:14:29 called "You Lose"
my last cue point at 00:00:19:14 called "End"
Here is my action script 3 code
///first frame:
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startGame);
function startGame(event:MouseEvent){
gotoAndStop(2);
SoundMixer.stopAll()
stop();
///second frame:
stop();
var loopTime
var hitHim:Boolean = false;
var vConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
vConnection.connect(null);
var vStream:NetStream = new NetStream(vConnection);
var client:Object = new Object();
client.onCuePoint = onCuePoint;
vStream.client = client;
var myVideo:Video = new Video(418, 480);
myVideo.y = 0; ///this adjusts where the video is, right now it is the size of the canvas which is 418,480
addChild(myVideo);
myVideo.attachNetStream(vStream);
vStream.play("michelle.flv");
var throw_bottle:Sound
throw_bottle = new Sound(new URLRequest("audio/throw_bottle.mp3")); //change to button noise, will add sound into ae file
target_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, shoot);
target_mc.buttonMode = true;
target_mc.visible = false;
draw_mc.visible = false;
function onCuePoint(cuePoint:Object):void {
if(cuePoint.name == "loop"){
loopTime = cuePoint.time;
if(cuePoint.name == "draw"){
var randomLoop:Number = Math.random()*10;
if(randomLoop > 2){
vStream.seek(loopTime);
}else{
setChildIndex(target_mc, numChildren - 1);
setChildIndex(draw_mc, numChildren - 1);
target_mc.visible = true;
draw_mc.visible = true;
if(cuePoint.time == "5:24"){
draw_mc.visible = false;
target_mc.visible = false;
if(!hitHim){
vStream.seek(15);
if(cuePoint.name == "dead"){
vStream.close();
myVideo.clear();
gotoAndStop(3);
if(cuePoint.name == "end"){
gotoAndStop(3);
function shoot(event:MouseEvent){
throw_bottle.play();
hitHim = true;
///my third and last frame
playAgain_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playAgain);
function playAgain(event:MouseEvent){
gotoAndStop(2);
SoundMixer.stopAll()
stop();
When I have no audio it works perfectly, no problems. When I bring audio in i re-render it as a .mov file and bring it back into After Effects and add the cue points to it. Than i re-render it out again as a flv file. When i bring it into my flash project it will work when the looping variable does just one loop and my target will appear so you can click on it or not. But when the looping variable makes it loop 2 to 10 times it skips over the catching (the part of the clip if you clip the button) and goes directly to the dropping of the can, not giving you the option of clicking the button. So basically it skips the "draw" or second cue point of my game and goes to "You Lose" cue point.
Any suggestions?Hi,
The latest audio driver for your machine is on the following link.

hi i need to generate 2 random numbers from array list . and then take out that two numbers from list.
String[] plcard = { "AC", "KC", "QC", "JC",
"10C", "9C", "8C", "7C","6C","5C","4C","3C","2C", "AD", "KD", "QD", "JD",
"10D", "9D", "8D", "7D","6D","5D","4D","3D","2D", "AS", "KS", "QS", "JS",

"10H", "9H", "8H", "7H","6H","5H","4H","3H","2H",};
this is the list if someone can help me i would appreciate
thanks in advancehaha, never noticed the .shuffle(List) method!
maybe java is getting too convenient (just kidding)?
i never wrote a card game.
how would the more programmingly gifted of us do this?
this is my shot at it for what its worth...
public class Card{
public Card(int rank, int suit){
this.rank = rank;
this.suit = suit;
int rank (or String i suppose)
int suit;
static final club = 1;
static final spade = 2;
static final heart = 3;
static final diamond = 4;
public class Shuffler{
public Shuffler(){
int NumOfDecks = 1;
Vector ShuffledDeck;
// num of decks
for(int i = 0; i < NumOfDecks){
// 4 suits
for(int j = 0; j < 4; j++){
// 13 ranks
for(int k = 0; k < 13; k++){
ShuffledDeck.add(new Card(k, j));
} // suits
} // num of decks
Collections.shuffle(ShuffledDeck);
// Done?

Need Help with random numbers, please help
Hi guys;
I need your help for a school project. I need to generate a random number from 1.0 to 2.0. How would I do that?

I need help with random number in GUI
hello
i have home work about the random number with gui. and i hope that you can help me doin this application. and thank you very much
Q1)
Write an application that generates random numbers. The application consists of one JFrame,
with two text fields (see the figures) and a button. When the user clicks on the button, the
program should generate a random number between the minimum and the maximum numbers
entered in the text fields. The font of the number should be in red, size 100, bold and italic.
Moreover, if the user clicks on the generated number (or around it), the color of the background
should be changed to another random color. The possible colors are red, green blue , black ,cyan
and gray.
Notes:
�The JFrame size is 40 by 200
�The text fields size is 10
this is a sample how should the programe look like.

Need help with random string arrays
Hi, I could really use some specific advice about how to randomize and display strings. I'm trying to create an applet that displays a list of 12 chores and a list of four people for whom the chores should be distributed to. So far I have set up the code to display the chores list in the first column and what I'm tring to do is then randomly assign each persons name 3 times in the second column. I'm not getting any error messages but the problem is that I can't seem to get the names to appear only 3 times.
// Random generator = new Random();
// JButton assignChores = new Button("Assign Chores")'
// JTextArea outputArea = new JTextArea("");
// ect....
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String[] chores = {"Living Room",
"Dining Room",
"Kitchen",
"Boy's Room",
"Garbage",
"Backyard",
"Pets",
"Front Bathroom",
"Back Bathroom",
"Laundry",
"Computer Room",
"Parent's Room"};
String[] person = {"Mom",
"Dad",
"Son",
"Daughter"};
int[] numIndex = new int[13];
String output = "Chores" + "\t" + "Person";
output += "\n________________________________\n";
// I feel relatively certain that a while statement should go
// here but I'm lost as to how I should go about this.
for (int i = 1; i < numIndex.length; i++) {
int arrayIndex = generator.nextInt(person.length); // generate a random number based on the number of people
output += "\n" + chores[numIndex[0]++] // display the chores list in column 1
+ "\t" + person[arrayIndex]; // then randomly display the names in column 2
output += "\n________________________________\n";
outputArea.setText(output);
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, outputArea,
"Chores List", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);

I need help with event structure.
I am trying to feed the index of the array, the index number can vary from 0 to 7.
Based on the logic ouput of a comparison, the index buffer should increment
or decrement every time the output of comparsion changes(event change). I guess I need to use event structure?
(My event code doesn't execute when there is an event at its input /comparator changes its boolean state.
Anyone coded on similar lines? Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks in advance!You don't need an Event Structure, a simple State Machine would be more appropriate.
There are many examples of State Machines within this forum.

Need help with codings on generating random words
hi guys.. i need help with generating random words from a list of array. please help me with the codings.. let me know the other variables that are needed if required as well.. thanks a million..
private String wordList[] = { "abstraction", "command", "arithmetic", "backslash" };Hi,
You can use the Random class to generate Random number between 0 to the array length and use the generated random number as index in to the Strign array.
To generate Random number use the following code
Random r = new Random();
num = ((r.nextInt() >>> 1) % wordList.length);
num will have the randomly generated number. -

Need help with a small application
Hi all, I please need help with a small application that I need to do for a homework assignment.
Here is what I need to do:
"Write an application that creates a frame with one button.
Every time the button is clicked, the button must be changed
to a random color."
I already coded a part of the application, but I don't know what to do further.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ColourButton extends JFrame {
JButton button = new JButton("Change Colour");
public ColourButton() {
super ("Colour Button");
setSize(250, 150);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(button);
add(panel);
setVisible(true);
public static void main(String[] args) {
ColourButton cb = new ColourButton();
}The thing is I'm not sure what Event Listener I have to implement and use as well as how to get the button to change to a random color everytime the button is clicked.
Can anyone please help me with this.
Thanks.The listener:

Hi!!
I urgently need help with this:
When I compile this in Flex Builder 3 it says: The element type 'mx:Application' must be terminated by the matching end-tag '</mx:Application>'.
but I have this end tag in my file, but when I try to switch from source view to desgin view it says, that: >/mx:Script> expected to terminate element at line 71, this is right at the end of the .mxml file. I have actionscript(.as) file for scripting data.
This is the mxml code to terminate apllication tag which I did as you can see:
MXML code:

It looks to me like you are terminating the <mx:Application> tag at the top. The opening tag should end like this: resultFormat="e4x">, not resultFormat="e4x"/> (Remove the /).

Please I really need help with this video problem.
Hi!
Please I need help with this app I am trying to make for an Android cellphone and I've been struggling with this for a couple of months.
I have a main flash file (video player.fla) that will load external swf files. This is the main screen.When I click the Sets Anteriores button I want to open another swf file called sets.swf.The app is freezing when I click Sets Anteriores button
Here is the code for this fla file.
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
preloaderBar.visible = false;
var loader:Loader = new Loader();
btHome.enabled = false;
var filme : String = "";
carregaFilme("home.swf");
function carregaFilme(filme : String ) :void
var reqMovie:URLRequest = new URLRequest(filme);
loader.load(reqMovie);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.OPEN,comeco);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS,progresso);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,completo);
palco.addChild(loader);
function comeco(event:Event):void
preloaderBar.visible = true;
preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = 0;
function progresso(e:ProgressEvent):void
var perc:Number = e.bytesLoaded / e.bytesTotal;
preloaderBar.percent.text = Math.ceil(perc*100).toString();
preloaderBar.barra.scaleX = perc;
function completo(e:Event):void
preloaderBar.percent.text = '';
preloaderBar.visible = false;
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onHomeDown);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onHomeUp);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onSetsDown);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onSetsUp);
btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN,onVivoDown);
btVivo.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP,onVivoUp);
btHome.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onHomeClick);
btSets.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onSetsClick);
function onSetsClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
if (filme != "sets.swf")
filme = "sets.swf";
carregaFilme("sets.swf");
function onHomeClick(Event : MouseEvent) : void
if (filme != "home.swf")
filme = "home.swf";
carregaFilme("home.swf");
function onHomeDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
btHome.y += 1;
function onHomeUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
btHome.y -= 1;
function onSetsDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
btSets.y += 1;
function onSetsUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
btSets.y -= 1;
function onVivoDown(Event : MouseEvent) : void
btVivo.y += 1;
function onVivoUp(Event : MouseEvent) : void
btVivo.y -= 1;
Now this is the sets.fla file:
Here is the code for sets.fla
import flash.utils.Timer;
import flash.events.TimerEvent;
var video:Video;
var nc:NetConnection;
var ns:NetStream;
var t : Timer = new Timer(1000,0);
var meta:Object = new Object();
this.addEventListener(Event.ADDED_TO_STAGE,init);
function init(e:Event):void{
video= new Video(320, 240);
addChild(video);
video.x = 80;
video.y = 100;
nc= new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
ns = new NetStream(nc);
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatusEvent);
ns.bufferTime = 1;
ns.client = meta;
video.attachNetStream(ns);
ns.play("http://www.djchambinho.com/videos/segundaquinta.flv");
ns.pause();
t.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
t.start();
function onStatusEvent(stat:Object):void
trace(stat.info.code);
meta.onMetaData = function(meta:Object)
trace(meta.duration);
function timeHandler(event : TimerEvent) : void
if (ns.bytesLoaded>0&&ns.bytesLoaded == ns.bytesTotal )
ns.resume();
t.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER,timeHandler);
t.stop();
The problem is when I test it on my computer it works but when I upload it to my phone it freezes when I click Sets Anteriores button.
Please help me with this problem I dont know what else to do.
thank youMy first guess is you're simply generating an error. You'll always want to load this on your device in quick debugging over USB so you can see any errors you're generating.
Outside that, if you plan on accessing anything inside the SWF you should be loading the SWF into the correct context. Relevant sample code:
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext();
context.securityDomain = SecurityDomain.currentDomain;
context.applicationDomain = ApplicationDomain.currentDomain;
var urlReq:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://www.[your_domain_here].com/library.swf");
var ldr:Loader = new Loader();
ldr.load(urlReq, context);

If you're doing this on iOS you'll need to stripped SWFs if you plan on using any coding (ABC) inside the files. You mentioned iOS so I won't get into that here, but just incase, here's info on stripping external SWFs:
